Well, if we are in any doubt, now we know for sure that Chelsea FC is going in a completely opposite direction than under Roman Abramovich and Marina Granovskaia.

Just look at the managers: Todd Boehly inherited Thomas Tuchel, a Champions League winning manager and currently manager of the England team; the manager who kept Chelsea FC together in the most extreme times after Abramovich lost his club because of the war between Russia and Ukraine.

And now, seems to be Liam Rosenior, previously manager of Derby, Hull, and Strasbourg. What a joke!

We land here after Todd’s Hall of Fame debacles - Frank Lampard (9% wins), Graham Potter (39% wins), Mauricio Pochettino (51% wins), and Enzo Maresca (60% wins) . . .  Let’s just take a short trip down memory lane to remind ourselves of the best times - Jose Mourinho (67% wins) . . . .

(ps: I wrote to Todd Boehly on several occasions not to appoint Lampard, nor Poter nor Pochettino).

Chelsea FC is now (remain) a “money laundering machine” with distant memories of being one of the best football clubs in the world.

Todd Boehly, with no knowledge of football, along with his 8 or 9 directors is clearly showing where CFC is going: To have a puppet manager who will be the coach only, and “big Todd and his directors” dictating who will be playing and when, and for how many minutes.

Liam Rosenior will need the respect of his players to succeed as coach. The Chelsea squad has players who have won the World cup and other major titles. How will they respect the coach who managed Derby, Hull, and Strasbourg?

Todd Boehly indicated he was serious about winning silverware and then Chelsea bought Liam Delap and Alejandro Garnacho - and now he appoints Liam Rosenior.

Liam Delap was just another joke as he still believes that Chelsea FC is the same as Ipswich Town, the club he was bought from, showing nothing else than disrespect on the pitch, completely out of discipline and no respect to the game and other players. In 11 games for Chelsea FC bought as striker Liam Delap manage to score 0 (zero, nil, zilch) goals.

Chelsea has strikers like Jimmy Hasselbaink, Didier Drogba, Diego Costa, … and managers like José Mourinho, Antonio Conte, Carlo Ancelotti and Tomas Tuchel, ….

The Todd Boehly regime is doing what they want and how they want. These jokers even took my 5 season tickets without telling me and gave them to others. Despite requesting some answers on numerous occasions, no answer has yet been received.

Mind you, Todd Boehly, you and I will die the same, whether you are giving me or not back my 5 season tickets you took of me, however my 17.6m followers are simply seeing your vision and ego.

And where is the new 60,000+ seats CFC stadium? Nowhere. it is not on Todd Boehly cards, because for building the stadium you need £1.2bn.

I was not a big fan of Enzo Marescsa as a manager. However, he showed some resistance and knowledge. Personally, I would have given him more authority and not sacked him.

However, I could see the end coming once he started openly speaking out about who is in charge of what at CFC; the results started to deteriorate in the last few weeks . . . he didn’t turn up at a press conference . . . his departure was inevitable.

And so Maresca’s has gone. He will not be without a job for long, as Juventus and Manchester City want him, not to mention others. 

Make no mistake, Chelsea Football Club and their supporters are not used to appointments like Liam Rosenior or Liam Delap for that matter. They are used to big-name managers coming to make a huge impact on their club.

Personally, I don’t see Rosenior doing that. If you do not have a leader in the dressing room and on the pitch, to give guidance and support to young players, then the club must have such a leader in the manager. Rosenior’s CV - Derby and Hull in the UK, Strasbourg in the French league - offers nothing to respect.

Having said that, his father was sacked as manager of Torquay United just 10 minutes after taking the job. They are already saying, like father - like son.

Todd Boehly has given him a 6-year contract. This will remind the players - if you do not perform and play for this manager, nothing will change for the next 6 years. What a joke.

What a joker, what a smoker this Liam Rosenior is. I was listening to his Sky Sport Interview - he said that he came to Chelsea to entertain, and to teach players how to play. 

Well, it seems Liam Rosenior is arrogant as Todd Boehly, if not even more, as Todd Boehly has achieved something in his life while Liam Rosenior has achieve noting at all. 

How he did with Arsenal in the Cup game was quite clear. We lost. With his predecessor Enzo Moresca we drew against Arsenal with 10 players. 

Since Liam Rosenior came to Chelsea there are not only Arsenal, ManCity, Aston Villa and Liverpool in front, but also Brentford, Newcastle, ManU therefore we are 8th on the table. 

Instead that supporters at Strasbourg intend to strike against BlueCo, they should celebrate to get rid of him, and Chelsea FC supporters should have strikes, marches and boycott the games against Todd Boehly. 

Just a reminder what Roman Abramovich wanted to build:

Projects 429 / 2013

Plan during Roman Abramovich’s era upon Power Station was not accepted to be the new Chelsea FC stadium. Architects M & dM made for Roman Abramovich plan for the stadium on the same current location – Stamford Bridge, capacity 60,000+

A New Stadium For Chelsea F.C

The Polygonal Shape

The exterior mass of the building is a faceted polygonal shape. The polygonal form maximizes the building footprint and responds in section and plan to the rights of lights requirements from the adjacent properties and from the context of the surrounding residential neighbourhood.
